In my environment, legacy cygwin mode is not 'working' with
gray background and black foreground. You can confirm what
happens if xterm mode is disabled by reverting cygwin to 3.0.7.

If you type 'aaa' in shell prompt and hit backspace, then
whole line after cursor gets black. Furthermore, if you run
vim, whole screen gets into black background and gray fore-
ground.

Do not these happen in your environment?

Oh, wait. I was setting foreground and background color in
"terminal" tab in property. If I set them in "colors" tab,
cmd.exe behaves differently. In this setting, your problem
does not seems to occur.
